Life on other planets
The search for habitable planets in other solar systems

Carina Persson, Professor of astrophysics

Wednesday 12 February at 16:15 in Egget, Studentsenteret.
Coffee and refreshments will be served from 15:45.

The first planet in another solar system was discovered in 1995 and immediately raised existential questions: Are we alone? Could humans thrive on other planets? How can we detect life or assess habitability?

The first exoplanet, a planet that orbits another star than our sun, was seen from Earth as late as 1995 by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz and earned them a shared Nobel Prize in Physics. Before their breakthrough, it was believed that all planets and systems would look like our own. But the first planet was an unexpected new type.
